It was getting late, but the snow outside did not stop.

After Su Jiu finished washing and changing, and was thinking about dinner, Xiao Tingchen came back.

He said to the frost: "Get a cloak for your mother and prepare to leave the palace." ”

Su Jiu was curious, "Where to go?" ”

"National Teacher's Mansion."

The emperor and queen arrived at the National Teacher's Mansion in a sedan chair, and Su Runmo seemed to expect them to come, and had already prepared a sumptuous dinner in the flower hall.

Su Jiu sat down with Xiao Tingchen, listened to him and Su Runmo talk about state affairs, and always ate obediently in silence.

During the banquet, Su Runmo drank two glasses of hot wine, glanced at Su wine, and said lightly: "Some words are confidential, I don't know how to say it......"

This means that the field is going to be cleared.

Su Jiu understood.

She just wanted to go to see Ju'er, so she smiled and said: "The emperor and the national teacher are talking about state affairs, and the ladies of this palace will not disturb you." ”

With that, he left the table directly.

The maids in the flower hall also quickly left.

Su Runmo smiled, "The queen mother is really smart and thorough, and she has the support of the Lu Guogong Mansion behind her, and the emperor married her, which can be regarded as marrying the right person." ”

"What is there that can't be said in front of her?" Xiao Tingchen turned the wine cup and his posture was cold.

Su Runmo pulled away the smile on his lips, "I think the emperor already knows the news that the Qi State is about to send troops south. According to the minister's speculation, Xie Rongjing went south this time and brought at least 500,000 troops. ”

"Half a million only." Xiao Tingchen sneered, "There are 300,000 soldiers and horses in Liangzhou, plus the million Beiliang Iron Cavalry we have recruited—"

"Millions of Beiliang Iron Riders, the emperor also said that it is 'Beiliang Iron Cavalry'." Su Runmo's expression was grim, "Their loyalty is not worth mentioning, and we even need to spend energy to prevent them from mutiny." ”

Xiao Tingchen smiled, "What do you want to say in a roundabout way?" Is Dayong no match for Qi State, or are you Su Runmo going to break up with me? ”

Su Runmo handed him a roll of his eyes, "Dayong naturally has the strength to fight against the Qi Kingdom." It's just that if you add southern Xinjiang, it will be quite troublesome. As far as the minister knows, the army in southern Xinjiang is gathering on the Dayong frontier, and they join forces with the Qi State to attack, and Dayong will fall into a very passive situation. For today's plan, the only way to do this is to break them one by one. ”

Seeing that Xiao Tingchen had a good time, he continued to say: "Su Tang is the king of southern Xinjiang, and the emperor can put him under house arrest and use him to hold the army in southern Xinjiang hostage. As for Daqi, as long as the emperor sends one person, he can make Daqi's 500,000 troops surrender without a fight. ”

Xiao Tingchen quietly took a sip of wine.

Su Runmo raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty? ”

"I won't say yes." Xiao Tingchen's attitude was extremely cold, "Su Runmo, I won't let my women go down to other men." ”

"The queen begged Xie Rongjing once, and the soldiers took down 500,000 Qi troops without blood. Or the two countries have suffered countless casualties and lost their lives in the war, which one does the emperor choose? ”

Xiao Tingchen held the wine cup.

The fine enamel porcelain of the front dynasty spread out a series of tiny gaps in his fingertips.

Under the glass lamplight, the man's shallow peach blossom eyes revealed a cold and thin one, and the word "thief" branded was particularly evil and wild.

His thin lips were lightly hooked, arrogant and arrogant, "What do I do with countless deaths and injuries?" What do I do to manage the misery of the people? Su Runmo, in the past, he fought for the world to satisfy his ambitions, but now he is fighting for the world in order to send the world to Su Xiaojiu! My queen should be high, even if the blood is flowing like a river, even if I am broken bones, I don't need her to beg others! ”

Su Runmo looked at him quietly.

There was a fire in the man's eyes.

Blazing, crazy.

He loved Su wine so much, that girl seemed to be more important than his heart and soul!

If love was a sacrifice, he had no doubt that Xiao Tingchen would sacrifice everything he had to Su Jiu.

In the eyes of the world, Xiao Tingchen is the emperor who dominates the world.

But only he Su Runmo knows that Xiao Tingchen is clearly just the most loyal dog under Su Jiu's pomegranate skirt!

Allegiance to such an emperor has mixed feelings in his heart.

……

The other side.

Su Jiu was led to the wing room by the maid of the National Teacher's Mansion.

When I opened the door, it was deserted.

On the snowy early winter night, there was no charcoal fire in the wings, and it was as cold as an ice cellar.

An oil lamp illuminated the room.

The furnishings in the room are shabby and shabby, the quilt is rolled up haphazardly on the couch, and the quilt has been stained with blood.

Juan was curled up in the quilt, and her lips were chapped and white.

The wounds all over his body were hastily bandaged, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine and blood.

Su Jiu walked over cautiously.

She poured a cup of hot tea and brought it to the girl's lips, "Judge? ”

The sleeping girl was woken up and slowly opened her eyes.

Qing Lingling's brown eyes were clean and deep.

She sat up despite the support of the wound, and suddenly threw herself into Su Jiu's arms and whimpered and cried.

"Sister Su! Su Runmo's house is not even as good as a brute! Her voice was hoarse, "He ordered me to be beaten with fifty sticks, and then he threw me in this place and left me to fend for myself!" He once betrayed the Qi State, and later betrayed Beiliang, and now he is loyal to Dayong, which is simply ill-intentioned! Sister Su, how can you appoint such a man as a national teacher?! ”

Su Jiu gently hugged her.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl in her arms, she cried very sincerely, and every word was slandering Su Runmo.

Su Jiu is not stupid, she knows Ju'er's careful thoughts.

The sentence is that he is borrowing a knife to kill someone.

She fed Ju'er to drink the hot water, and said softly: "Beiliang has been destroyed, this is an unchangeable fact. Even if you kill the leaders of the eight tribes, it will still be impossible to turn the tide. Judge, accept the reality and live well in the National Teacher's Mansion is your best choice. ”

"What Sister Su is saying, Ju'er can't understand it at all." The little girl wiped her mouth, "People are just little maidservants of the National Teacher's Mansion, how can they kill the leaders of the eight major tribes?" Sister Su is wrong to blame others. ”

Su Jiu stared at her.

Even if the little girl lied, her eyes were still as clear as water.

If you don't agree with each other, you will burn down the palace, the means are ruthless and decisive, the temperament can bend and stretch, and you are smart and lively, and you can't complain that Su Runmo likes it.

She smiled, she wanted to tell her the truth about Su Runmo's painstaking efforts to protect her life, but in the end, it was Su Runmo's family matter, and it was not her turn to put her beak at all.

She suppressed her thoughts and personally helped Ju'er change the medicine, during which she tried her best to say a lot of good things about Su Runmo.

Ju'er snorted: "Sister Su, how can he be as good as you say?" He bullied the weak and betrayed his family and country, and he was clearly inferior to a pig and a dog. As far as I know, Xiao Tingchen is not very good, he once bullied Sister Su fiercely. Xiao Tingchen is the second worst in the world, and Su Runmo is the first bad. Sister Su, I advise you, reconcile with Xiao Tingchen earlier, I look at that Su Tang is very good......"

She was about to continue beeping, and Su Jiu caught a glimpse of the two people standing at the door, and hurriedly covered her little mouth.

Judge: Help me up, I can continue to beep
